ORLANDO, FL – Siena Baseball (0-4) concluded its opening weekend series with a 10-2 loss at the University of Central Florida Sunday afternoon.

Coming off a Saturday doubleheader, the Saints scored twice in the first two frames of the ballgame to break out to a 2-0 lead.

The crooked frame included a pair of RBI singles, an RBI double, a wild pitch and a solo home run, which started it off.
